The Hunt for the Monk

This is a story about a Buddhist monk who got me wasted, hit on my mom, and gave me crabs. He is very dear to my heart. *** There are a few things that every adventurer secretly hopes they will find. Among those are: the title to a yacht, an unexplored cave, an unattended dog sled, and a treasure hunt. […]

A Dangerous Business Discovers Hobbiton, New Zealand.

For our Wandering Wednesday guest posts we ask a fellow travel blogger to highlight one place (city or entire country) that has been one of the most memorable for them. It can be a fond type of memorable, or “my hair caught on fire, I contracted rabies, and my luggage was stolen”- type of memorable. The good, the bad, and […]

Donate a Click for Adventure #escaperoutes

Okay, we’re not really big on these kinds of posts.  I, myself don’t like them and tend to skip over them unless I know (and like) the people involved.  We don’t like to beg for likes and followers, but this is an exception to the rule.

Talking Travel, Exploration, and Adventure with RVNN-Live.

You might have heard about the “snowpocalypse” that recently hit western Washington.  Yes, it may have only been a few inches, but that’s kind of a big deal when you live at sea level.  We tried to make the best of being snowed in and even got in an awesome interview with RVNN-Live.  We got to talk about travel, the […]

Why we miss Korea. [photo journal]

It’s been seven months since we returned from Korea and I can say with absolute honesty that I miss that country more than I’ve missed any other in my entire life.  I knew I was going to miss it months before we even left.  I tried to soak up as much of it as I could.  I’d take long walks […]

Touring Seattle from Underground.

photo source. Not many people know that the city of Seattle is actually built upon… an old city of Seattle.  Sure, you’ve heard about the Great Chicago fire but did you know that Seattle also experienced a fire that brought down 30 city blocks?  The 1889 fire rendered old Seattle city what it is today- buried underneath the soil of […]

Our visit to Forks. The land of vampires and werewolves. [video]

It doesn’t matter if you’re team Edward, team Jacob, or team Alice- the small town of Forks will fulfill all of your Twilight fantasies.  We found ourselves with a free day and decided that it was finally time to bite the bullet and head northwest to the once meager town that Stefanie Meyer made so famous.  That’s right, we knowingly […]
